Description
The Baliguian Star Ornament is a five-point star in gold aluminium, standing upright on a rectangular base of natural mango wood. It measures 16.5cm tall, 15cm long and 5cm wide, a size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or a bookshelf without crowding the rest of the display. The gold surface is textured rather than smooth, so it catches the light from lamps and fairy lights and throws it back in small, uneven glints. Against that, the warm grain of the wooden block gives the star a grounded, natural footing, and the pairing of metal and wood means it sits as happily among greenery as among glass baubles.
As a Christmas decoration, this is one for the places people actually look: the mantelpiece, a windowsill, the centre of a dining table or the hall shelf where keys and post land. It is a decor piece for indoors, and at just 5cm wide it suits narrow ledges. Because it stands on its own block, there is no hook to find; you simply stand it in place. It suits anyone who likes a festive touch that feels considered rather than glittery, and it looks just as good beside a small tree as grouped with other gold pieces.
Each star is handmade, so every piece is unique: the texture on the gold surface varies slightly from one star to the next, and the grain of the mango wood base differs too. We like that, because the one you unpack is genuinely your own. It weighs 0.14KG, which makes it easy to move between rooms through the season and light enough for a slim shelf. Aluminium does not rust, and mango wood is a hardwood with a warm, natural grain. Its small size also makes it easy to wrap and store until next Christmas, when it is ready to stand again.
